Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday launched a scathing attack on the opposition over a gangrape in Rajasthan's Alwar district, saying the crime was suppressed by the Congress government there as the state was going to the polls.

This is the truth of the Congress nyay' (justice), he said, in an apparent jibe at the income support scheme Nyay promised by the opposition party if it comes to power.

"The story of the gangrape of a Dalit daughter which took place two weeks ago is now coming out gradually, Modi said at an election rally here.

Instead of arresting those involved in this heinous crime, Rajasthan's Congress government and the police got busy in hiding it as they did not want it to come out before the polling was over," he said.
